The Airbus financial data reported for the quarter, in this case 2025 Q1, looks solid. There are still possible clouds on the horizon, the most obvious being US policy on tariffs, but so far everything is holding up rather well.
Airbus 2025 Q1 Financial Results – Solid Quarter For The Manufacturer
Airbus reported, for its Q1, a profit of 793 million euro. Despite that marking a substantial 33% leap forward over 2024’s Q1 it is worth noting that Airbus did spend 70 million euro less on research and development in these first 3 months of 2025. Nonetheless the European manufacturer remains the top-dog in aircraft production at the moment with a eye watering revenue for the quarter of 13.5 billion euro.
